Pulling a nail is easy; pulling it without wrecking the board is the trick. The Mokuba cats paw brings Japanese tool-making precision to that job, with finely formed claws that get under stubborn nail heads and controlled leverage that preserves the wood around them.

For renovation work, reclaimed lumber, and any demolition where the boards are worth more than the nails, this is the tool that pays for itself in saved material. Three lengths, 180 mm (7 in), 280 mm (11 in), and 360 mm (14 in), sold singly or as a set of three.
